Drinking Less

[texas2006]

Since I've been plauged with urinary frequency, I know that I drink a lot less fluids. Anyone else here do the same?

When chronic prostatitis / chronic pelvic pain syndrome hit me, every doctor advised me to drink LOTS of water. So I started drinking 5 lts of water every day, even if I had to go to the loo often. I realized in a month's time that water therapy ain't going to work. So I cut down on my intake to 2.5 lts. Right now, I am not suffering from Urinary frequency. So I do not watch how much water I drink. But when the urinary frequency was at its peek, I used to make sure that I take less/no water before I went to bed (so that I dont have to wake up to pee).

If I were you, I would make sure that I keep myself hydrated all the time during the day, but make sure that I drink less water before going to bed.

hth,
Joe.

Absolutely, and I know that reducing my water intake reduces my urinary frequency significantly. Just be careful not to get too dehydrated. Also, drinking less water makes your urine more concentrated which can worsen dysuria if that is one of your symptoms.
